Is green but certainly not mean. The palate has decent flesh and is quite silky. There are notes of cardamom, grated ginger, sweet red berry, smoke and green bean. I quite enjoyed the wine.

Popped and poured, consuming over 3 hours. Light color. Spicy and fragrant nose, with some oak notes masking a slight green streak (or maybe its the stems?). Light weight, silky and delicate on the palate, then bam you get a very intense flavor kick with really nice precise mineral and spicy fruit notes. Excellent. The palate finishes with very little tannic bite (its not round or soft, but not at all extracted) and it's wrapped in a medium length finish. This wine picked up weight and depth with airtime and as it warmed to room temperature. If the nose comes together this will sport the complete package.

Fine nose, but a bit lean and one dimensional on the finish.
